Mindfulness and connecting to the real you

Check In August 12th to August 14th 2024

When we practice mindfulness are we really connecting with ourselves? We tend to feel stressed when doing it our minds are overwhelming us to a panic and we try to do anything to calm down. We may sometimes meditate to incorporate both meditation and mindfulness. 

We begin to connect to ourselves  by why we are reacting a certain way. We need to be grounded to ourselves. When we do mindfulness we first connect with our feelings and this helps by understanding we we are not grounded. Grounding yourself is vital for your wellbeing and to feel balanced and calm.

Here are some ways that may help you :

noticing your feelings when doing meditation and mindfulness 

notice your reaction and feelings at any given time take a moment to notice where in your body you may be stressing.  Focus into the area and do breathing exercises to relive the pain.

Name the different feelings your experiencing : o

one word  like stress panic uncomfortable

Accept the thoughts and emotions your having:

Don't judge ourselves for the thoughts and emotions at that time. instead of judging ourselves understand the things we are going through to relax ourselves 

Engage ourselves a activity only we can do alone

Walking outside in nature or on the beach helps us relax and reconnect with ourselves.
